Electronics assembly for wireless transmission of at least one status information

Abstract

An electronics assembly for wireless transmission of at least one status information of an object comprises a motion sensor for detecting movement of the object. Upon detection of movement, the electronics assembly is set in a transport mode and, upon detection of an absence of a movement, the electronics assembly is set in a stationary mode. The electronics assembly is configured such that the wireless transmission of the at least one status information is effected only in the stationary mode.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A container for transport, comprising:
 an electronics assembly for wireless transmission of at least one status information and an energy storage for supplying the electronics assembly with energy, 
 wherein, the energy storage is contained in a first primary housing, which is releasably attached to the container, and the electronics assembly is contained in a separate second primary housing, 
 the electronics assembly comprises a motion sensor for detecting a movement and a filling level sensor for determining the filling level of the container, the electronics assembly is configured to work in a transportation mode, upon detection of a movement by the motion sensor, and in a stationary mode, upon detection of an absence of movement by the motion sensor, 
 a first status information encompasses position information, at least another status information encompasses a filling level, the filling level sensor is configured such that the filling level of the container can be determined independent of the detection of movement by the motion sensor so that the filling level sensor constantly determines the filling level, 
 the electronics assembly is configured such that the wireless transmission of the position information is effected only if the absence of movement is detected by the motion sensor and the wireless transmission of the filling level information is effected upon the determination of a change in the filling level by the filling level sensor such that the transmission of the position information of the container is restricted to phases in which the object is stationary and the transmission of the filling level is independent from the movement status of the container. 
 
     
     
       2. The container according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the energy storage is grouted in the first primary housing and the electronics assembly is grouted the second primary housing, in order to make at least one of the energy storage and the electronics assembly explosion-proof. 
     
     
       3. The container according to  claim 1 , wherein both of the first and the second primary housing are located in a secondary housing. 
     
     
       4. The container according  claim 1 , further comprising a filling level sensor, and the filling level being a status information for wireless transmission. 
     
     
       5. The container according to  claim 1 , further comprising a transponder or a receiver for identification of at least one of the container and its content.
